PRECOCIOUS, fiercely ambitious and armed with a remarkable talent for drawing, Egon Schiele (1890-1918) achieved early critical success, lived fast and died young.
Son of the station master of the Austrian town of Tulln, Schiele was accepted two years early by Vienna’s most prestigious art academy, aged just 16. He participated in his first group exhibition two years later and had an enthusiastic following by 1909.
